March 26, 2010—With toolmakers around the world looking for new ways to revive their businesses, the fast-growing micromilling segment offers potential new opportunities for moldmakers to enter a lucrative market niche and differentiate themselves from lower-wage competitors.

Jan. 4, 2010—Here is a video from Johns Hopkins University showing a simple experiment intended to provide a better understanding of the behavior of small particles as they pass through microfluidic devices. For the experiment, researchers immersed a Lego peg board and pegs—used to simulate a microfluidic array—in an aquarium filled with "goopy glycerol," a clear thick liquid. Small beads were then dropped into the pegs to determine their behavior.
